The Debian project is pleased to announce the eighth update of itsstable distribution Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 (codename "lenny"). Thisupdate mainly adds corrections for security problems to the stablerelease, along with a few adjustment to serious problems.

Please note that this update does not constitute a new version of DebianGNU/Linux 5.0 but only updates some of the packages included. There isno need to throw away 5.0 CDs or DVDs but only to update via anup-to-date Debian mirror after an installation, to cause any out of datepackages to be updated.

Those who frequently install updates from security.debian.org won't haveto update many packages and most updates from security.debian.org areincluded in this update.

New CD and DVD images containing updated packages and the regularinstallation media accompanied with the package archive respectivelywill be available soon at the regular locations.

Upgrading to this revision online is usually done by pointing theaptitude (or apt) package tool (see the sources.list(5) manual page) toone of Debian's many FTP or HTTP mirrors. A comprehensive list ofmirrors is available at:
